A very popular lens and for many reasons. It's on my XTi all the time now, quite versatile, excellent quality, fast and I think a combo of 17-40 & 70-200 would be sufficient for me. Great build quality, great IQ, can't think of any complaint for now. It's popular so you should be able to get a used one for a good price at a decent quality like I did.

Pros:
|
Good user-interface, affordable, light-weight, good for beginners, compatible with EF & EF-S lenses
|

Battery is relative weak, viewfinder is somewhat small

This is my first SLR and I love it, so many things to learn. This body is definitely a good starting point for beginners like myself before we upgrade to something higher (like 5D) while still continue to able to use our collection of lenses. Canon definitely has a good marketing strategy to strengthen its penetration for SLR camera line.

Pros:
|
Affordable, IS works, focal length (28-135) is good for a general purpose lens
|
|
Cons:
|
IQ in low light, 28 is not wide enough for 1.6x bodies
|
|
|
Recommend for beginners like myself, great focal length, IS works well but IQ in low light is definitely not L.

|
Pros:
|
Cheap, f/1.8, very compact
|
|
Cons:
|
Cheap build quality, focusing is noisy, too small which make it difficult to hand-hold and easy to produce blurry pictures
|
|
|
This is so cheap comparing to other lenses that even with issues, it's worth to have it. Noisy & doesn't feel solid. Mine made in Malaysia so Canon can cut cost & pass on to us.
